MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — The half brother of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis has been released from a southern Oregon jail and allowed to return home to Ashland until a hearing scheduled later this month for an alleged probation violation following his child pornography conviction.
The Mail Tribune reports that 63-year-old James Auchincloss faces more than a year in prison if a judge determines he is in violation.
Auchincloss was sent to the Jackson County Jail in Medford on March 2 without bail after prosecutors said he again violated probation for his August 2010 conviction on two felony counts of encouraging child sexual abuse.
But a judge ordered his release Tuesday under terms of home confinement until the May 24 probation hearing.
